Motivation: If the content-length does not parse as a number, leniency causes this to instead be parsed as the default value. This leads to bodies being silently ignored on requests which can be incredibly dangerous. Instead, if the content-length header is invalid, an exception should be thrown for upstream handling. Modifications: This commit removes the leniency in parsing the content-length header by allowing a number format exception, if thrown, to escape from the method rather than falling back to the default value. Result: In invalid content-length header will not be silently ignored.

How to build
For the detailed information about building and developing Netty, please visit the developer guide. This page only gives very basic information.
You require the following to build Netty:
- Latest stable Oracle JDK 7
- Latest stable Apache Maven
- If you are on Linux, you need additional development packages installed on your system, because you'll build the native transport.
Note that this is build-time requirement. JDK 5 (for 3.x) or 6 (for 4.0+) is enough to run your Netty-based application.
Branches to look
Development of all versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to <majorVersion>.<minorVersion>. For example, the development of 3.9 and 4.0 resides in the branch '3.9' and the branch '4.0' respectively.
